Rory's 6-8 Week Check

On Wednesday Rory had his 6-8 week check up at our doctors surgery.

The doctor weighed, measured his head and length and checked Rory over from head to toe and everything is fine. Rory is now 12lb 12oz, 61.5 cms long and his head is 40 cms.

The doctor was impressed with Rory's head control. Rory was cooing away during the check up either at the doctor or a poster on the wall, Rory has a thing for pictures on walls and chats away to them for ages. During the check Rory very nearly soaked the doctor with wee, which was quite funny and I now understand how he's out weeing his cloth nappies so fast, lets just say he wee's a river! The nurse doing Rory's immunisations had a good old giggle at that and told him next time to aim a little better and get the doctors shirt.

We then headed through to the nurse for his first immunisations. Rory is the first of my children to have the Rotovirus vaccine, which is given orally. Rory didn't mind the taste of it and thankfully it was a colourless liquid so he didn't get covered in anything that wouldn't wash out of clothes.

Then he had an injection in each thigh which he really didn't like. He fell asleep not long after being dressed and placed in his buggy for the walk home.

He hasn't had any reaction to the immunisations thankfully and didn't need any calpol that evening. He did sleep a lot during the day which is very unlike Rory.
